STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Freshkills Park -- the former landfill that’s being transformed into the city’s second largest park -- is introducing itself Sunday, Sept. 29, with a preview festival that features everything from kite-flying and pony rides to kayaking, food trucks and rock-climbing.

The third annual sneak peek will include dozens of activities, workshops and opportunities for community interaction.

The rain-or-shine event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Here’s a sampling of what will be happening that day, according to organizers:

Kayaking, starting at 11 a.m. Only the free rental kayaks that will be provided can be used for the ride in the Main Creek. Kayak rides will be preceded by a quick boating safety lesson.

Pony rides will preview future equestrian activities and facilities at the park.

Walking tours will give visitors the chance to learn about the park’s infrastructure and history from experts from Parks Department and Sanitation Department experts.

Bird watching will be guided by the Staten Island Museum.

Kite-flying kits will be provided for those who wish to partake in the activity on the North Mound.

Free bike rentals will allow visitors to ride around trails and explore the new park's scenery.

Rock climbing walls will also be available.

All that activity will make visitors hungry, no doubt. That’s where the food trucks come in. Among those lined up for the event are the Mac Truck, (gourmet macaroni and cheese), the Coolhaus (cookies, ice cream and sweet treats), Crif Dogs (hot dogs), RockNRollnyc (chicken, ribs, tacos), Toum (Lebanese cuisine). Pizza and Italian ices will also be sold.

Two dozen green-thinking businesses, organizations and city agencies will also participate in a workshop and information fair. The Home Depot, for example, will help visitors build their own birdhouses to take home. The NYC Compost Project will offer education and tips on home composting. And the New York Restoration Project will host a tree give-away.

At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will trail only the Bronx' Pelham Bay Park for the title of NYC's largest park when it's complete -- a process taking place over 30 years.

Development at this stage is focused on "providing public access to the interior of the site and showcasing its unusual combination of natural and engineered beauty, including creeks, wetlands, expansive meadows and spectacular vistas of the New York City region," according to the city Parks Department.

Free shuttle buses will operate between the St. George ferry terminal and the event, departing every half hour at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour from 10:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Sneak Peak signs will be posted inside the St. George Ferry Terminal to direct guests to the shuttle bus. Shuttle buses returning to St. George from Freshkills Park will depart every half hour between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Bikes will not be permitted on the shuttle buses.

Parking is available at 250 Wild Ave., in Travis near the Showplace Entertainment Center.
